Thanks Mike. Do feel better knowing that they will even out over time. Curious, do you know what causes the specs?

AJ

Not completely sure, but since that is color 8, I would guess it’s Alden’s glaze. It probably dripped some on those spots, but not 100% certain. I have similar spots in some of my shoes. They have in general faded a bit and has become less noticeable. Frankly after you wear them and crease them up some, you won’t really notice it too much.

Happy New Years, fellas. Hope you have a safe and enjoyable holiday.

Spending the afternoon at the in-laws’, wearing my trusty J.Crew “405s” with whiskey Guarded Goods laces.
